Buying voluntary carbon credits is fine.

But if you're a US company serious about climate impact and tax savings, you're missing the bigger play.

§6418 Renewable Energy Tax Credits.

These aren't just paper certificates. They can cut your corporate tax bill by 10-15%. That's real cash, not wishful thinking.

But here's what most miss.
These credits are targeted. Not only do you save money, but every dollar supports US jobs, manufacturing, and communities that need it.

Domestically manufactured equipment? You get a bonus.
Create work in tough neighborhoods? Another bonus.
Pay workers a real, living wage? Yet another.

It's rare for a federal program to actually work. This one does.
You get the write-off. The US gets the benefit.

If you're already buying carbon credits, you're signaling commitment. But if you're skipping § 6418 credits, you're leaving ROI and impact on the table.

Environmental investments should pay off on every level.
Time to level up and capture the real advantage.

Thinking about it? Let's talk.

A CPA called me last spring. One of her clients had just sold a business, a significant taxable event, large federal liability, limited time to structure around it.

She asked if there were still transferable credits available that year.

There were. We moved quickly. Her client purchased credits, reduced their liability materially, and the deal closed before year-end.

A few weeks later she told me: "I wish I'd known about this two years ago."

I hear that a lot.

The market for transferable clean energy tax credits has exploded since the IRA passed in 2022, from essentially zero to over $25 billion in annual transactions. But awareness hasn't kept up.

Most CPAs I meet are either...
a) Not yet familiar with how the structure works
b) Familiar but haven't had a deal to run through it
c) Want to offer it but don't have the deal flow or operational support

That last category is where I spend most of my time.

If you're a CPA or financial advisor who's had clients ask about this, or who should be asking about it, comment below, let's connect.

Something I wish more people in the tax world talked about openly...

In 2025 the transferable tax credit market created by the Inflation Reduction Act is one of the most legitimate, IRS-recognized tax reduction tools available to high-income taxpayers right now.

It's not a gray area. It's not a loophole. Congress created it on purpose... to fund clean energy infrastructure by letting private capital buy credits from developers at a discount.

Here's a simple breakdown of how a deal actually works:

→ A solar, wind, or battery storage project generates federal tax credits
→ The developer can't fully use them, so they offer them for sale
→ A qualified buyer (your client) purchases them at 85–95 cents on the dollar
→ The credit offsets their federal tax liability dollar-for-dollar
→ The transaction is documented with a purchase agreement + independent tax opinion

The client saves money. The developer gets project capital. The energy gets built.

The CPA's and tax attorneys I work with regularly call this one of the cleanest structures they've seen come out of recent tax legislation.

If you're in a firm that hasn't explored this for qualifying clients yet, I'm hosting a webinar on Tuesday, March 16 at 11am CST that helps CPA's offer tax credits for their clients.

If you can't make it, sign up anyway and I'll send you the recording after the webinar.

Got my OpenClaw bot, sent it an invite link to Fizzy, but it told me it needed an email address. So I said get one from HEY, and it did. Then it completed the invitation flow for Fizzy flawlessly. So I asked it to create five cards with biz ideas. No skills, no CLIs, all perfect.

There is a real "Series A crunch"

Previously ~30% of startups got to a series A in 2 years. In recent vintages only ~15% did.
